| Meme's Tempt me, these are merely trends, though. |
( these were my raising thoughts of the game, weighing the pro and cons of such an activity, they may not apply now. )
Direct about what it's for, intent-wise. These are deliberations.
This ain't a "What's in it for me" kind of consideration, this is a "This is a physical impossibility" Kind of consideration. Regardless, I'll have to decide.
After simmering this in my head, I was wondering if it'd be worth it to draw random characters for free on another social media platform, live on July.
Yep, it's bluntly for exposure, that nebulous paradoxical price that's free. Yet, I don't know.
More bluntly, Should I sacrifice less time for my comic to draw other character oc's for an event to contribute and practice my craft? Time, attention, and effort, which are getting more valuable the older I get.
We forget these platforms and monetizing that time for such activity.
On the one hand, it looks like a fun opportunity to give and explore OC ideas, rendering new materials and ideas of other people characters for a gift economy. The creativity these characters have will go as relics of our age. A communal event of gifts.
On the other hand, it could merely be a blip of the creativity where one must clock in to a networking meeting where people display cavalier displays of status. Is this the best place one must place there ideas in?
A diversion for more important projects.
Even if it might be bad? All these memes and trends, they either share crop and scoop up the effort, or enhance one's collaboration endeavours.
What's the best/worst that can happen.
Zin tries to establish the right mindset on pursuing such activities
Plenty of artists just do fine without it. (Jessi Sheron is an example, no trends/memes pursued, her webcomic and horror stuff do the talking.) There are accomplished ones that do, to all partake in what is a gift economy, one that does not exist. It matters though.
I don't want to commodify my articulations into a pigeonhole.
